Question
Hi there, Is this possibly cyperus retrorsus? It's in my backyard in a residential neighborhood in Hampshire County MA. There are other similar plants, but this was the only one with cylindrical inflorescences? Thank you!
Answer
Dear betula112, good morning. You've photographed the fruiting spike of the genus Carex (sedge). This is likely Carex lurida (sallow sedge), a common native species found in a variety of habitats.
